Front:
A Miner's Prayer
When my hard task on earth
is done
God give me time to loaf
in the sun;
Loaf in the sun on a cool,
green hill
Where the breath of freedom
lingers still;
Lingers still to caress my face
As I climb to the highest place;
Highest place where content I'll stay
Praising Thee, Lord for each grand
new day.
For the carefree rest I've never known
Grant me a few years to call my own;
Call my own and, my sins forgiving,
Strength enough to enjoy their living.
There living enjoy with greater zest
Because I have worked and earned
my rest;
Earned my rest and a place in the sun—
Providing you find my work well done.
